Actually, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is more strictly based on the sequel novel (published in 2000) of the same name than the first movie was based on the first book. That's why you have the extended and ridiculous subplot of Bridget in a Thai prison--it came directly from Fielding's novel. (I'm not arguing that II is better than I by any means--it isn't--but that this wasn't a case of Fielding, Curtis, and the other scriptwriters just makin' up a completely new story).

Some movies are not meant to have sequels because the first movie has already done all there is to do. Men In Black, Bad Boys, and this are only a few examples. Jurassic Park had a decent follow up, but once they went beyond the two books for an original story you can see how bad the result was. Some things are better left alone.

Eeew... A PG-13 version is just stupid! I don't know who in the hell would rather watch an edited version of something.

I like the cover art a lot. Yeah it's not original, but not everything needs to be and especially the artwork for a movie like this. That being said, I think it's very attractive. I like the colors.

Anyway, I will definitely rent it.

And the Golden Globe noms are not that bad at all this year. CLOSER got 5 noms, so I'm happy about that. Especially since one was for Natalie Portman, who delivered two superb performances this year in the wonderful GARDEN STATE and the superb CLOSER.

why would universal even release a PG-13 version of the film. Its not like its a family film or anything. I does not make much sense. Its also in fullscreen, thats an even worse combination, for one any real movie fan would never buy a fullscreen dvd, and too no fan of this movie is going to buy a PG-13 version, I will stick with the R rated Widescreen version thank you very much.

Quote: Originally posted by Robin Moore It says that there is a R rated version that is widescreen and a PG-13 that is full screen. Aren't they kinda screwing around with some people? I mean, what if you wanted R with full screen? Seems pretty strange to me. Haven't seen it yet, but I will most likely give it a rent.

I know some movies are out of theatres way too fast although I was actually hoping this one would get to DVD sooner so I would know what to get my sister for her birthday. I know she wants this so... wish it came out a month earlier.

I intended to see many of these films in theaters before hearing of their DVD release. The window of opportunity to see a movie in a theater seems to be shrinking fast. Not everybody can drop what they are doing to see a film in the first few weeks of its release. Nor do some of us want to be crammed in a theater with an obnoxious sell out crowd the first few weekends. Some films aren't allowed to find an audience until they make it to DVD. This is a pattern that (like television) is gonna kill the production of quality films. Just take a look at the Golden Globe nominees this year! Yikes
